    A treasure!
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021*

I loved this little book! Not only did I gain insight into what it might be like to be a dog, and I've had 14 of them so far in my life, but I learned so much about Elizabeth Barrett Browning and how Robert Browning saved her from a life that had oppressed her.Flush is the little spaniel given to Elizabeth by a friend. He shifts from running in broad fields chasing rabbits to languishing on the carpet in her bedroom, taking brief outings on a lead, getting kidnapped by the mid-19th century gangs, spirited away as she elopes with Browning and is exposed to the concept of prejudice...... What a fascinating tale. What a satisfying book!

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning's dog, Flush,  from his perspective
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020*

The novelette, short in pages, was a bit stiff at the beginning. But as I read on and got more into the character of the dog, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Surprising to me, I just wasn't picking up on the names since although I know of both Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, had not read much work of either poet. Coincidentally, I had just finished reading the book when I started watching an old movie (1934) on Turner Classic Movies. The story was sounding familiar - the title was "The Barretts of Wimpole St." And then I realized this was Flush's story, told a little differently from the characters' point of view instead of being Flush's story. Enjoyed the book and I would recommend the movie, also.

    The Right Method
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2011*

Woolf has chosen just the right narrative method for this pseudo-biography of Elizabeth Barret Browning's red spaniel Flush. She uses third person technique--that is the "biographer" speaking--but the biographer third person gets close in to the perspective of the dog. By this method she can include both a human perspective and the dog's perspective. We know all the time that the "biographer" is making educated guesses about how the dog is thinking and feeling. This novel presents the pleasures of heterosexual marriage through the poets Elizabeth and Robert Browning and thus is more optimistic and happy than books like "To the Lighthouse." Also woven into the tale is a sharp critique of Victorian middle class isolation from the poverty that reminds one of the novelist Charles Dickens. Of course Woolf makes beautiful sentences and the book is a pleasure to read, at times humorous, at times sad.
